The present disclosure relates generally to bicycles. In particular, the present disclosure provides systems and devices for converting a standard bicycle into a cargo bicycle using various detachable components. The ability to convert a standard bicycle into a cargo bicycle and back again confers many advantages, including eliminating the need for a separate bicycle for transporting cargo and encouraging the use of bicycles as a mode of transportation.

A drive assembly of a vehicle operable with muscular power and/or motor power. The drive assembly includes: a drive unit; a frame interface, the drive unit being arranged at least partially between a first wall and a second wall of the frame interface, the drive unit including a through-hole; two sleeves inserted into the through-hole of the drive unit on both sides; and a through-bolt inserted through the through-hole and the two sleeves and holding the drive unit on each of the two walls.

A drive assembly of a vehicle operable with muscular power and/or motor power. The drive assembly including a drive unit, a frame interface, wherein the drive unit is arranged at least partially between a first wall and a second wall of the frame interface, a first bracket holding the drive unit on the first wall, and a second bracket holding the drive unit on the second wall. The first bracket comprises a first damping sleeve inserted into a first opening of the drive unit, the second bracket comprises a second damping sleeve inserted into a second opening of the drive unit, wherein each damping sleeve is screwed to the corresponding wall by means of a screw. Each damping sleeve comprises a sleeve, and a damping element which at least partially surrounds the sleeve and is formed from a vibration-damping material.

A bicycle includes a frame, a motor, a battery, a key interface, a crank set, and a shell. The frame defines a cavity and an opening providing access to the cavity. The motor is coupled to frame beneath the cavity. The battery extends at least partially into the frame. The battery is configured to power the motor. The key interface is positioned along an exterior of the frame. Turning a key in the key interface releases the battery to facilitate removing the battery from the frame. The crank set is coupled to the motor. The crank set includes crank arms. The shell extends at least partially over the opening.

The invention relates to a propulsion system (1) for a pedal vehicle. The propulsion system (1) comprises a power unit (1) allowing the power originating from a bottom-bracket axle (2) to be combined with the power from two motors (40, 50), a first deformable transmission element (23) allowing the transmission of power to the rear wheel (73) and a casing assembly (19) enclosing particularly the first deformable transmission element (23) and the power unit (1), with the exception of part of the bottom-bracket axle (2).

A bicycle drive unit includes a housing, a crankshaft and a propulsion assist motor. The housing is configured to be mounted on a frame of a bicycle. The crankshaft is provided to the housing. The assist propulsion motor is provided to the housing to assist propulsion of a bicycle. The propulsion assist motor includes a rotational axis extending in a direction intersecting a direction in which crankshaft extends. The bicycle drive unit is configured such that a distance from a rotational axis of the crankshaft to a part of the bicycle drive unit that is the farthest from the rotational axis of the crankshaft in a direction parallel to the rotational axis of the propulsion assist motor is smaller than or equal to 210 mm.
